Xceed.Compression Assembly > Xceed.Compression Namespace > QuickCompression Class > Decompress Method : Decompress(Byte[],Int32,Int32,CompressionMethod) Method
An array of bytes to decompress.
The byte offset in buffer at which to begin taking the data to compress.
The maximum number of bytes to be taken from buffer.
A CompressionMethod value representing the compression method that was used to compress the byte array.

Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Shared Function Decompress( _
   ByVal buffer() As Byte, _
   ByVal offset As Integer, _
   ByVal count As Integer, _
   ByVal method As CompressionMethod _
) As Byte()
'Usage
 
Dim buffer() As Byte
Dim offset As Integer
Dim count As Integer
Dim method As CompressionMethod
Dim value() As Byte
 
value = QuickCompression.Decompress(buffer, offset, count, method)
public static byte[] Decompress( 
   byte[] buffer,
   int offset,
   int count,
   CompressionMethod method
)

Parameters

buffer
An array of bytes to decompress.
offset
The byte offset in buffer at which to begin taking the data to compress.
count
The maximum number of bytes to be taken from buffer.
method
A CompressionMethod value representing the compression method that was used to compress the byte array.

Return Value

An array of bytes containing the decompressed data.
Remarks

If the original data contained within the decompressed byte array was a string, then it is possible to retrieve the string using the System.Text.Encoding.GetBytes(System.Char[]) method of the System.Text.Encoding class.

The BZip, BWT, and PPMd compression methods are not supported.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
